This area was created  2012, aims to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of relations between China and Brazil. Integrating a broad spectrum of theoretical and methodological interests, especially involving the areas of economics, sociology, international relations, environmental studies, philosophy and innovation, it seeks to develop research aligned with the study of phenomena involving not only relations between China and Brazil but also the BRICS phenomenon. With an international vocation, this line of research emerged from the work of the professors of the Brazil-China study group at the Center for Advanced Studies at Unicamp, proposing to contribute to and deepen society's understanding of these relations and the changes brought about by them. 
As a consequence of this interdisciplinarity, this line maintains direct dialogue with several research centers and centers at Unicamp and abroad, among which the following stand out: CASS (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), CASS-UNICAMP (Cass-Unicamp Center for Studies on China), CESOP (Center for Public Opinion Studies) and NEPAM (Center for Environmental Studies and Research).
